What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

How do you have that antenna installed? 2m/70cm?

That little antenna is the included one with the GMRS Midland MXT275. It is a magnet base. I ordered a replacement antenna for that and one for the Yaesu which will be on fender brackets.

Quarantine Jailbreak #1-
Was supposed to be starting the White Rim Road today on my bucket list Utah trip.... but of course that got cancelled.
This weekend I was blessed and on Friday received an invitation to camp the weekend on a private ranch with small group. Only 15 miles from home!
So was able to test the WJ cooling mod, load and test the roof rack mounting setup, try out the new Kodiac Tent, and exercise the rig on actual dirt and green grass.
Ok so it was a camping trip, but a glorious one!
Activities included a little 2nd amendment celebration, a little RC rock crawling fun, campfire cooked meals, fantastic views and sunset overlooking our home town below, and relaxing in the great outdoors!

Finally added an Expedition One rear bumper. Sadly I need to try to find new brackets for the backup sensors. That also means having to pull the bumper off to put them in place. If I do that I will likely put the 7 pin in the bumper vs behind it.

Empty beer can holders just like the front for now. I don't really have a need for the extra lights. Especially since I pull a trailer.

Hankering for some pizza from Cafe Rio in Ruidoso. I decided to take the long way around and ingress from the north (they’ll never expect that direction!). Checked out the Picacho Road section of the Enchanted Rockies Trail, the Billy the Kid jail in Lincoln, the Baca Campsite, and the Capitan Pass view. The large pie was standard: excellent.
Midpoint on the Picacho Rd section:

Did some battery wire cleanup. I will redo it again once my battery isolator kit comes next week.

To a 3 post extension. I'll definitely change the angle slightly on the negative post. In the picture it looks like it's pulling the negative wires a bit.

Rachel and I installed a Shrockworks bumper on our 3rd Gen 4Runner. We wrapped up the install last night but got to take photos today. This is definitely the most intense mod we’ve attempted, but it was a really rewarding experience now that it’s done. Huge thanks to Shrockworks for getting this out during this COVID situation. I hope y’all are all safe and healthy.

We ordered this back in February ahead of a planned May-June trip to Arizona and Utah... which is now on hold. :/

Its a huge improvement over keeping the spare in the cargo space or on the roof rack. Up next is the Sherpa Equipment Co base plate and drawer we recieved a couple of weeks ago. Just waiting on the weather to break to tear into another install.

We also have a shiny new Tepui tent we’re waiting to install. We were thinking about getting the Front Runner quick disconnects that they make for the RTT. The reviews on them seem a little mixed on this and other boards... so we’ll think more about it.
